Yes the plastic pipe seals replacement should have been listed as a service item, if they had a scheduled replacement at say 8 years or 100k miles it would have spared x thousands of owners the same experience including myself, poor engineering really

Agreed! This was a challenging fault that didn't flag up a definite error code. Those 'O' ring seals are available separately from Mercedes. Far cheaper than the cost of either the crank position sensor or the cam position sensor which I'd already replaced as these were both potentially logical candidates on my 17 year old, 79,400 miles travelled S320cdi. Hope this post helps others with similar issues driving them demented!

Most definitely worth being a member, especially when it comes to older models with age related problems. There are a good few helpful souls in the club that make it most advantageous to be a member of. One and all, happy motoring!
